I was having coffee with an Australian Barrister and an Australian dentist. The dentist related a story about how he was on a hunting trip to Northern Australia when he "stepped over a log". The log immediately wrapped itself around him, causing him to drop his rifle.

He said if his guide had not directly shot the snake in the head, he would still be up there...

It sounded real.

I’ve heard that it’s not a good idea to step over a log, even when it’s a real one. You’re liable to step onto or next to a venomous snake, lying up against the hidden side. If you step instead on the top of the log (being sure it’s really a log), you can see better where you’re stepping, and step farther away from the log with your next step.
